About this listen

 India's relations with the People's Republic of China have captured the popular imagination ever since the 1950s but have rarely merited a detailed understanding of the issues. Individual episodes tend to arouse lively debate, which often dissipates without a deeper exploration of the factors that shaped the outcomes. This book explores the dynamics of negotiation between the two countries, from the early years after Independence until the current times, through the prism of six historical and recent events in the India-China relationship. The purpose is to identify the strategy, tactics and tools that China employs in its diplomatic negotiations with India, and the learnings for India from its past dealings with China that may prove helpful in future negotiations with the country.

It is not very often that one comes across a great book on geo-strategy and geo-politics by an Indian academic.This is one of those rare works which is truly brilliant even by international standards.This work should be studied not only by Indian practitioners of international diplomacy but also by those of western countries including Americans.China is already a great global power and is working very hard to replace USA as the world’s supreme global power.All countries who would be affected by this need to read this book to prepare themselves suitably to deal with Chinese negotiators and interlocutors.

A most remarkable book

Author had poured a lot of effort in sharing the deep knowledge that cannot be easily gained. The last (7th chapter) reveals his good intentions. Must read for all those who are interested in deceptional tactics adopted by China in negotiations.

Excellent source of knowledge on the topic.
